Fighting for the lives of people facing the death penalty
What we do

Death Penalty Defence Training


Assisting lawyers who are defending someone who is facing execution requires specialist knowledge and skill. For this reason, each year in Spring and Autumn, in association with Amicus, Reprieve presents a training programme that explores the practical skills and theoretical tools that people working in this area must acquire. Spread over a number of evening and weekend sessions, this comprehensive programme covers the US system of trials and appeals, US constitutional standards, typical death penalty issues, ethics and international human rights law issues, research and investigation skills, (including document collection and management) and witness interviewing skills. The course is registered for 23 CPD hours with the Bar Council and the Law Society.


The next training will be in October 2007
